Climate Change

Let's hope that she reaches 18 (or whatever maturity means). Can anyone imagine this kid getting married and having children?

I think she's a manic depressive.

Nope. "Bipolar" perhaps. Or obsessive disorder - or something or other. Odd. Is the word.

Then climate warmed again which was known as the Medieval Warming Period, when Vikings created settlements in Greenland, where they grew crops and raised cattle. Throughout Europe, which had been on the verge of continent wide starvation, crops began to grow again.

No, Bogan -- the climate warmed because of all the medieval SUVs!

And the Romans, Minoans, Sumerians and Egyptians must have had SUV's too, which accounts for the Roman Warming period, and the Minoan, Sumerian, and Egyptian warming periods. Each one a thousand years apart.

The temperatures in our present warming period should increase another 2 degrees before catastrophe happens and earth's temperatures will plummet to a new Ice Age that will last a couple of thousand years. Billions of human beings will die, especially in the Northern Hemisphere's countries in the higher latitudes.

This is because our present warming period is the last of the ten year cycle before a new Ice Age returns. Climate scientists in the 1960's were alarmed when global temperatures dropped alarmingly from 1940 to 1970. Many of them thought that this heralded the end of our present warming period and the start of a new ice age. A new ice age would have catastrophic consequences for all life on earth. There was much relief when temperatures began climbing again after 1970.

That is how I knew that one Graph that Brian Ross submitted earlier on this topic was an air brushed fake. It purported to display the temperatures of the earth rising in a near linear line from the start of the 20th century to today. It completely omitted the inconvenient 1940-1970 cooling period.

When you see something like that, you know that somebody on the climate Alarmist side is doing something insidious. Especially when you read the Climategate Emails and the "scientists" at the East Anglia Climatic Research Unit are conspiring with each other on ways to hide these temperature declines in the published data from the public.

Here's something else that I think you'll find interesting (and hardly new): Scientific evidence that Greenland was once warm enough to host spiders, butterflies and forests.

Biologist Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen and an international team of colleagues discovered DNA from alder, spruce, pine and yew trees at the glacier's base as well as insects ranging from butterflies to spiders. This is the "first evidence for a forested southern Greenland," Willerslev says. And based on the tree species found, Greenland must have been warmer than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) in summer and never colder than one degree F (–17 degrees C) in winter, much warmer than present conditions.

There's also this:

The researchers believe that the samples most likely date back to between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago, when it was covered in conifer forest and had a relatively mild climate, overturning all previous assumptions about Greenland.

So if the temperature was that much warmer in Greenland, it must have been a lot warmer elsewhere, too. How come life on Earth didn't end at the hands of a major climate change catastrophe, like the kind Greta imagines could happen in about 12 years?
